When: 11 a.m. Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland.

What’s up: Brian Hoyer is the quarterback who isn’t letting Johnny Manziel play. Last week against the Tennessee Titans, Hoyer led the Browns to a remarkable comeback from a 28-3 deficit on the road by throwing for three touchdowns in a 29-28 win. It was the largest road comeback in NFL history. Hoyer has led the Browns to a 2-2 record, with the losses at Pittsburgh (30-27) and at home to Baltimore (23-21).

Background: Hoyer grew up a football and baseball prep star in Cleveland. He attended Michigan State, where he had an undistinguished career, throwing nine TD passes and nine interceptions as a senior. But the New England Patriots saw something and signed him as an undrafted rookie in 2009. He was Tom Brady’s backup for three years. He received his first real opportunity to start last year for Cleveland and went 3-0 for a team that finished 4-12. But in his third start, he suffered a torn ACL and missed the remaining 11 games of the season.

Klis’ take: Hoyer is handling Johnny Football much better than Kyle Orton dealt with Tim Tebow in 2011. Then again, there’s not nearly the public outcry to play Manziel in Cleveland as there was for Tebow in Denver. It helps that Hoyer is a Cleveland product. It also helps that he has six touchdown passes and just one interception through four games. It also shows that Manziel’s stardom isn’t nearly as dynamic as Tebow’s. Hoyer’s performance this year has limited Manziel to one incomplete pass. If nothing else, Hoyer has humbled a kid in desperate need of humbling.

One NFL source close to the draftable quarterback situation said the buzz is Johnny Manziel going to Jacksonville with the Jaguars’ No. 3 overall pick.

And the Cleveland Browns taking Blake Bortles at No. 4.

This scenario makes sense. The Jaguars are paying $4.5 million to veteran Chad Henne but that’s high-end backup quarterback money. I can see Jaguars coach Gus Bradley, who was Pete Carroll’s former defensive coordinator in Seattle, building a Russell Wilson-like offense around Manziel. The Jags even have Toby Gerhart to play a poor man’s Marshawn Lynch.

And if there’s another franchise out there that could benefit from a jolt of Johnny Football more than Jacksonville, let me know.

Tuesday Morning QuarterbackIt’s tough to rate Tom Brady. We know what he’s done. Which is more than any other active quarterback. But you weigh that against what he’s doing now. Which isn’t much. The top two quarterbacks stay the same this week with no one playing at Peyton Manning’s level. But there are massive changes after Drew Brees at No. 2:Quarterback ……………….. (Last week’s ranking)

1. Peyton Manning, Broncos (1)

No coach, no commentator, no player has ever mastered the game of football like this guy is now. His pace through four games last week of 64 touchdown passes seemed silly – except he’s still on pace for 64 TDs through five games.

Quarterbacks are paid to win games. But last weekend, three notable QBs – Matt Schaub, Joe Flacco and Jay Cutler – lost games by throwing the ball to the wrong team. There were four quarterbacks who didn’t start the previous week. And for all the buzz about the talented, young, athletic crop of quarterbacks, look whose 1-2-3:

Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow kneels in prayer prior to last Sunday's game against the Bears.

This morning’s Tim Tebow media smorgasbord has a little bit of everything, from a pastor who once hosted Tim Tebow’s father saying the Broncos’ victories are because of “God’s favor,” to a Kim Kardashian reference from a writer at the business magazine Forbes, to the Patriots trying to find someone to imitate Tebow in practice this week.

Let’s start with the pastor, Wayne Hanson. According to the TMZ website, Hanson — who runs Summit Church in Castle Rock — God is actively intervening in Broncos football games.
